NY PHIL Off The Grid, chamber music parties hosted by Musicians from the New York Philharmonic performing in unexpected locations throughout New York City, continues with the second event of the season on Thursday, January 19, 2017, at 7:15 p.m. Off The Grid - Vol. 5 will be inspired by the upcoming Beloved Friend - Tchaikovsky and His World: A Philharmonic Festival, conducted by Semyon Bychkov, January 24-February 11, 2017. The event will be held at a location in Brooklyn near the F, G, and R subway lines; as with past NY PHIL Off The Grid events, the exact location of the event will remain a secret until shortly before the day of the event.
Tickets for Off The Grid - Vol. 5 are $35, and include an intimate performance by Musicians from the New York Philharmonic as well as an open bar and appetizers. For early access to tickets, sign up for the pre-sale at nyphil.org/offthegrid by noon on January 10.
NY PHIL Off The Grid is a series of free or low-cost events featuring music, food, and cocktails inspired by upcoming Philharmonic concert programs that take place in unique and intimate locations that encourage interaction among the musicians and the audience. The 2016-17 season's first Off The Grid event, presented at Pondicheri, featured music, food, and specialty cocktails inspired by Ravi Shankar's R?g?-M?l?, Concerto No. 2 for Sitar and Orchestra, which was performed by the New York Philharmonic in David Geffen Hall November 3-5. Off The Grid was inaugurated in January 2016 at Baita, Eataly's Italian Alps pop-up restaurant, with an Italian theme inspired by Respighi's Roman Trilogy. Other Off The Grid events in the 2015-16 season took place at the Angel Orensanz Foundation - inspired by the Philharmonic's Spanish Nights program (with music by Bizet, Yuste, and Turina) - and Housing Works Bookstore Cafe, inspired by a program of works by Schumann, Mahler, and Sibelius.
Last season the Philharmonic also hosted two low-cost concert and after-party events, When in Rome, held in the David Rubenstein Atrium in connection with a program including Respighi's Roman Trilogy and Wunderland, held on David Geffen Hall's Grand Promenade in connection with a program of music by Sibelius and Mahler. The New York Philharmonic will also host an after-party following a subscription concert at David Geffen Hall in spring 2017 (details to be announced).
NY PHIL Off The Grid is part of a multiyear audience development effort supported by The Wallace Foundation aimed towards attracting and growing future audiences. The series is one of several ways the Philharmonic connects with new audiences and expands access through free and low-cost programs such as Philharmonic Free Fridays; the free Concerts in the Parks, Presented by Didi and Oscar Schafer; Student Rush tickets; MyPhil, subscriptions for those 35 and under; and more.
